Works are ongoing to Phase 2 of a single-storey barn conversion located in Low Ham, Somerset. After undertaking renovation works last year, construction has now progressed to the new extension of the barn to create an expanded open-plan living space. It is intended that, once completed, the new annexe will be used by our client as future carer’s accommodation.

April Update
Very sadly due to the coronavirus outbreak a number of our client’s sites have understandably needed to shut down (‘force majeure’). Therefore, we thought it was a good time to just post an update of what we’ve been up to and for you to see the progress of these projects.
We have also been very busy securing planning and building regulations applications over the past months and want to ensure this continues over this very strange period to ensure our industry keeps going. This has also been emphasised by all Local Authorities.
Read MoreOn Site Works Progressing Well
We currently have a number of projects on site which are at different stages of construction and completion. These have provided some challenges both in the form of construction in regards to the integration of a sunken wine cellar and tide pool, as well as working within tight site constraints and existing building conditions.
Hopefully within the next month 3 of these projects will be completed with another due for completion in the new year. We also have another 2 projects starting within the next few weeks and will hopefully have some news on these projects in the near future.
